The Metro Rail Transit (MRT) is for ordinary mortals, celebrities ride on flashy cars. This is the norm in the Philippines, so when one celebrity takes the MRT to go somewhere, people react.

ABS-CBN star Anne Curtis tweeted a photo of herself inside the MRT. She took the MRT to make it in time for last night’s concert of Australian star Kylie Minogue at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City. I can imagine the shock of MRT commuters who saw the popular star inside the MRT but people on Twitter were just as surprised. Anne Curtis has over 1.3 million followers, so if most of them react to her MRT photo, it’s but natural that she suddenly trends on Twitter.
